Baby Rachel's been having rashes on her face and they seem to worsen by the day(sometimes it even spreaded to her eyes!) and I had wondered and worried if it's eczema. So, since we're bringing jie jie to the chinese physician for follow up on her diarrhoea(getting better though), we booked an appointment for meimei to consult the physician as well.
It turned out that Rachel's rashes are due to heatiness and the physician said that she's very heaty now. I told him that I've also noticed that the rash seem to have appeared a while after I've started her on cereal. I then asked if I should stop and he said yes, especially now. I also took the opportunity to ask his opinion about feeding babies with brown rice and he said that though it's nutritious, it is actually not necessary unless the child is not absorbing nutrients from the milk/food well, then we should consider giving it, else it'd only cause heatiness and it'd be like 'nong qiao fan zuo'. He then added that cereal is also not very necessary as well (this is what Rachel's PD had said and even Renee's PD had told me the same in the past too). With these advices, coupled with my own thoughts and what I've gathered from baby book/internet, I'm going to stop giving Rachel the cereal(aiya, just opened up a new packet! who wants to have it, it's organic!) and I'd perhaps start her with pureed home cooked porridge and slowly add in vegetables/meat for variety/added source of iron, nutrients...
Renee had requested to go for a snack after their medical appointment and our errands and we went over to the Macdonald's at AMK park. Thereafter, we headed to AMK hub where we bought more groceries again - aiyoh, seems like we go to the supermart at least twice a week, every week, there always seem to be something to buy and we always end up with quite alot of merchandises each time, goodness...
*just now fed Rachel the chinese medicine and though she seemed to recognise the 'items' I've prepared to feed her with, she wasn't quite prepared for the actual taste! hahaha, it's quite funny to watch her opening her mouth in anticipation only to squirm at the 1st taste, heee... She started to cry when she got choked at the 2nd squeeze(using syringe), and not happy to take on more liao(but still managed to finish that dose) hahaha.
